Hey whats up everyone!
The awesome rep team at MAN here on the boards hooked me up with a full container of N-XT which is bodybulindg.com's version of Nolvadren-XT. This log is in conjunction with my Body-Octane Log I am also doing.
Here is how the log will work. Each post I make will be a brief description of my training and nutrition on that day and how I felt N-XT effected my training, nutrition, and physique as a whole. I will also discuss the ingredient profile from time to time to help better determine any results or effects this product may have on me. The container will last me approximately 30 days so this log will last until roughly the 14th or so of September, basically a month from now. I plan to update this log daily so discussion and thoughts can be kept going.
Here we go!

8/13/14 - First Day taking N-XT
So I dont normally use any kind of Test-booster/Estrogen Blocker often and so I am really excited to see how my body reacts to this. I do believe some products on the market can optimize hormone levels in tandem with good training and consistent diet. I am also taking DAA as well and so I am curious if this will increase the effects of both or have some synergy effect as some on this board have said running DAA with a product like N-XT would be good. I do think this product will take several days for it to "kick in". Yes, it will get into my system when I take it but I am unsure what are the optimal blood levels of the Brassaiopsis Glumerulata extract that will have any noticeable effects, along with the other two ingredients.
The ingredient profile is:
Test-Estro Modulator Proprietary Extract Of Brassaiopsis Glumerulata 400mg
Estro-Metabolize Diindolylmethane (DIM) 200mg
Cort-Control Matrix 3Beta-Hydroxyandrost-5-En-17-One 100mg
Will talk about these later on in the log as I am first time user of these ingredients and so am not super familiar with them so if anyone is please chime in and I will do some research about it!Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

8/14/14 - Second Day of N-XT
Training: Legs Power
Cardio: None
Current macros: 250p, 400c, 80f
Still too early to tell any benefits from N-XT I would think BUT I will say this was my first leg session since my lay off from the gym. 405 used to feel super heavy but today felt great, and went up super quick.Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

8/14/14 - Third day of N-XT
Training: push hypertrophy
Cardio: None
Current Macros: Same as previous.
Pushing movements have always been the more difficult movements for me in terms of strength increases. Today was also the first day I did a push session sense my gym lay off and I was surprised at the amount of weight I was able to use while focusing on contracting the muscle and making sure I felt it work. I half wondered if that the N-XT kicking into gear a little bit via the strength increase. Im really excited for the next time a push hypertrophy day rolls around because then I will have a better comparison between workouts, plus will have been on the product for longer.
I also have noticed a slight jump in my libidio the last day or 2 which could also be an indication of test increase but too many factors to say its solely because of N-XTSix Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

In on this bud!
Might be some placebo going on regarding the NXT as it's early in your run...workouts might have to do more with the Body Octane you're using!
After a week or so you'll probably notice some things to comment on in regards to libido, water loss, aggression. Looking forward to this log!

8/16/13 - Fourth day of taking N-XT
Training: Pull Hypertrophy
Cardio: None
Macros: 250/400/80
No crazy jump in strength or aggresio or libido and so I am still waiting for a kick in. I will say from personally experience with some of the very few hormone modulators I have used before that it takes a solid 1-2 weeks for any major kick in for me personally but with the formula in N-XT who knows. Ive never taken anything containing Brassaiopsis Glumerulata which I understand acts as an AI. Im hoping that with my younger age and my natural Test-levels on the higher end of what they will ever be (because I am young) that this will maximize what my personal physiology is already doing. Plus with the DIM in the product as well I believe the AI effects will be quite nice.Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

Thanks man! Glad to have you along!
I sure hope so. Diet is for sure in check. As a PT and Physique coach I preach consistent macros/caloric intake in tandem with consistent training so that will be a variable that is not an issue.
Exactly what I am thinking. Very interested to see how a test booster will amplify what I already have going for me at 22.
I sure hope so!
Thats the goal, currently dieting for 4-8 weeks before a nice, controlled, and looooooooooooooong grow season to fill out my 6'2 frame lol.Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

8/17/13-8/18/13 - Fifth and Sixth day taking N-XT
Training: Legs hypertrophy (yesterday) today off.
Cardio: 15mins elliptical yesterday
Macros: 250/370/80
Had a slight macro drop yesterday as my weight loss had stalled for a bit and I want to keep the ball rolling. Starting to get to the point where I should hopefully be feeling a kick in before long. Excited for a new week of training tomorrow and to see what happens. Am also going to have my wife take some progress pics of me starting this week to help have a more objective eye to see how continuing to lean out goes.Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

8/19/13-8/18/13 -7th day taking N-XT
Training: Push Power
Cardio: HIT interval on elliptical. Six intervals and 200 calories burned according to machine
Macros: 250/370/80
Training was solid today. Felt surprisingly stronger today then I expected as pushing movements are always my weaker movements. Hit all my percentages today just fine and even the top sets felt fairly easy. I am hoping this could be signs of the N-XT working via lowering my estrogen and thus having more test in my body. Def felt good in the gym and I def felt like I got better today. Trying to be that 1 percenter!Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

Thanks bro! I actually decided I'm gonna try to put on a little bit of weight I think. I want to be somewhat bigger! A little nervous cause I've been on a recomp for he last yr that has done nicely! So the next month or two I'm going to try to put on some weight! We will see how it goes.

I dont do direct stability work but I do a ton of mobility and stretching before each session, no matter what body part I am doing. I do various mobility work for hips and shoulder along with foam rolling and static stretching. Keep joints healthy will certainly aid in keeping one stable performing power movements. Have you noticed stability issues in your training?
Transitioning from recomping/dieting into a lean gain phase or bulk can for sure be difficult, especially mentally. Ive had great success during my transitions where I very slowly add in calories each week, no more then 100 at a time, typically form carbohydrates. I monitor the scale closely, if my weight jumps up too quickly in a weeks time I back off in adding calories and wait for my weight to stabilize before I continue. Slow and steady and the gains will come!
I gotta get me one of these! Also need to get my hands on some of the new PF3, super excited about it!
Dude, N-XT is ballin, check my update below, def noticed some new things in the gym today physique wise.
Your in your prime homie, a number doesnt define you! Keep killin it!Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep

8/20/13 8th day taking N-XT
Training: Pull Power
Cardio: None
Macros: 250/370/80
HOLY MOLY! Today's session was incredible and I certainly believe this stuff has begun to kick in. I say this because all of my numbers increased 10-15 pounds or so since my last pull power day and that is a with a decrease in overall caloric intake. Also to note, I was waaaay more vascular then I normally am. Im sure body octane was cause of some of that but I just felt and looked more pump and dry then I normally do. Dem feelz were real today.Six Star Pro Nutrition Lead Rep
